The date

July 2007

Client outcomes

  • To reward the staff for the past financial year and to communicate key company messages to all employees.
  • To create a relaxed and fun environment allowing all guests to mingle and network.

The solution

A family fun day style event held at ‘the room’ by the river with an informal picnic and entertainment to suit all. A stage and lectern was already in situ for a speech by the managing director. Branding was placed throughout by the use of Ogilvy ‘red’.

The creative idea

The invitation to the event was in the form of a single flip-flop branded with the Ogilvy logo. Guests were required to bring this ‘invitation’ with them and on entry to the event they would receive the matching flip-flop to complete the pair. To accommodate this we built a shoe-check room. Giant and inflatable games were placed throughout the venue to suit everybody’s tastes. Picnic style food was served in biodegradable bags with Ogilvy branding.
